Find the direction cosines and direction angles of the vector. (Give the direction angles correct to the nearest degree.) 5, 1,

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

The direction cosines are:

$\frac{5}{\sqrt{42} }$ , $\frac{1}{\sqrt{42} }$ and $\frac{4}{\sqrt{42} }$ with respect to the x, y and z axes respectively.

The direction angles are:

40°, 81° and 52° with respect to the x, y and z axes respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a given vector a = ai + aj + ak, its direction cosines are the cosines of the angles which it makes with the x, y and z axes.

If a makes angles α, β, and γ (which are the direction angles) with the x, y and z axes respectively, then its direction cosines are: cos α, cos β and cos γ in the x, y and z axes respectively.

Where;

cos α = $\frac{a . i}{|a| . |i|}$ ---------------------(i)

cos β = $\frac{a.j}{|a||j|}$ ---------------------(ii)

cos γ = $\frac{a.k}{|a|.|k|}$ ----------------------(iii)

And from these we can get the direction angles as follows;

α = cos⁻¹ ( $\frac{a . i}{|a| . |i|}$ )

β = cos⁻¹ ( $\frac{a.j}{|a||j|}$ )

γ = cos⁻¹ ( $\frac{a.k}{|a|.|k|}$ )

Now to the question:

Let the given vector be

a = 5i + j + 4k

a . i = (5i + j + 4k) . (i)

a . i = 5 [a.i is just the x component of the vector]

a . j = 1 [the y component of the vector]

a . k = 4 [the z component of the vector]

Also

|a|. |i| = |a|. |j| = |a|. |k| = |a| [since |i| = |j| = |k| = 1]

|a| = $\sqrt{5^2 + 1^2 + 4^2}$

|a| = $\sqrt{25 + 1 + 16}$

|a| = $\sqrt{42}$

Now substitute these values into equations (i) - (iii) to get the direction cosines. i.e

cos α = $\frac{5}{\sqrt{42} }$

cos β = $\frac{1}{\sqrt{42} }$

cos γ = $\frac{4}{\sqrt{42} }$

From the value, now find the direction angles as follows;

α = cos⁻¹ ( $\frac{a . i}{|a| . |i|}$ )

α = cos⁻¹ ( $\frac{5}{\sqrt{42} }$ )

α = cos⁻¹ ( $\frac{5}{6.481}$ )

α = cos⁻¹ (0.7715)

α = 39.51

α = 40°

β = cos⁻¹ ( $\frac{a.j}{|a||j|}$ )

β = cos⁻¹ ( $\frac{1}{\sqrt{42} }$ )

β = cos⁻¹ ( $\frac{1}{6.481 }$ )

β = cos⁻¹ ( 0.1543 )

β = 81.12

β = 81°

γ = cos⁻¹ ( $\frac{a.k}{|a|.|k|}$ )

γ = cos⁻¹ ( $\frac{4}{\sqrt{42} }$ )

γ = cos⁻¹ ( $\frac{4}{6.481}$ )

γ = cos⁻¹ (0.6172)

γ = 51.89

γ = 52°

Conclusion:

The direction cosines are:

$\frac{5}{\sqrt{42} }$ , $\frac{1}{\sqrt{42} }$ and $\frac{4}{\sqrt{42} }$ with respect to the x, y and z axes respectively.

The direction angles are:

40°, 81° and 52° with respect to the x, y and z axes respectively.

A random sample of n = 9 structural elements is tested for comprehensive strength. We know the true mean comprehensive strength

irinina [24]

Answer:

Probability that the sample mean comprehensive strength exceeds 4985 psi is 0.99999.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a random sample of n = 9 structural elements is tested for comprehensive strength. We know the true mean comprehensive strength μ = 5500 psi and the standard deviation is σ = 100 psi.

Let $\bar X$ = sample mean comprehensive strength

The z-score probability distribution for sample mean is given by;

Z = $\frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\mu$ = population mean comprehensive strength = 5500 psi

$\sigma$ = standard deviation = 100 psi

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is away from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value (area) associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X.

Now, Probability that the sample mean comprehensive strength exceeds 4985 psi is given by = P( $\bar X$ > 4985 psi)

P( $\bar X$ > 4985 psi) = P( $\frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ > $\frac{4985-5500}{\frac{100}{\sqrt{9} } }$ ) = P(Z > -15.45) = P(Z < 15.45)

= 0.99999

Since in the z table the highest critical value of x for which a probability area is given is x = 4.40 which is 0.99999, so we assume that our required probability will be equal to 0.99999.

Melissa notes that her savings account earned $54.93 in nine months. If the

djyliett [7]

Answer:

$135.63

Step-by-step explanation:

first and foremost, the formula for interest is I = Prt. P is the principal, r is the rate, and t is the time.

so plug in the numbers you have. Always convert the rate to a decimal. The rate would be 0.0.45. Plug in 54.93 for the I and plug in 9 for the time. It would look like this:

54.93 = P(0.045)(9) --> 54.93 = 0.405P --> P = 135.63
